As a teacher, you create impactful lesson plans around a curriculum, but you also recognize that your work with students goes so much deeper than that. In fact, it often extends into how students feel about themselves and others. That’s why books that foster confidence are must-haves for your classroom shelves (and the ones on this list are all under $5!).
Children are sponges — which is why they can learn so much from watching a character in a book develop stronger self-esteem or internalize a story about believing in oneself.
During your next classroom read-aloud, open up I Am a Leader!: An Acorn Book (Princess Truly #9). This early reader book features three sweet stories that will inspire students to lead the way. You can also soothe the worries of your students prone to perfectionism with It’s Okay to Make Mistakes, a bestselling book that reminds kids that goof-ups are natural and can always be resolved.
